If your house was burning down, what would you grab first? Besides your kids and pets, the most important item most people have is their physical memories. Their photos and videotapes and old film from their lives. Well, a fire is not the only thing that can destroy those precious valuables we all have in closets and boxes and storage. Time alone will destroy all those physical items. Photos fade away to nothing. The chemicals in film and videotape will degrade the picture until they are useless. There is only one way to assure that those memories can be passed down to future generations, digitizing them! The importance of digitizing and archiving old film, tapes, photos and slides is therefore critical. If you have ever watched on old VHS tape you can see that the picture quality is not nearly what it once was; video and photos are converted to a digital file the degrading of quality ends, the product can now be stored indefinitely with no loss to video or audio quality. FIVE REASONS TO DIGITIZE YOUR MEMORIES It Provides Peace of Mind If your memories are digitized you will be sure of preservation for future generations.
